Seating guide
- Best views
- On the first-base side, Lower Box seats near Section 138 have good sightlines and a view of the scoreboard and the downtown skyline. The club seats there offer that same view along with service.
- Shade & cover
- At day games, the overhang of the club level shades the first-base side's Field and Lower Box rows. The right-field corner and the third-base side keep their sun the longest, particularly the upper deck in right field.
- Cheapest seats
- The left-field bleachers rank among the least expensive seats; they are benches, so a cushion helps. Upper Box/Upper Reserved seats are cheap too, though high and exposed to wind. For $20, the District Ticket gets you standing room and your first drink.
- Families
- Next to the Family Deck in right field, the Kids Clubhouse offers a sensory room and two levels of things to play on. Kids tickets are discounted in the Family Deck.
- Standing room
- Gathering spots include The Corner, a bar on two levels out in right field, the beer garden in the Infield District, standing room in a number of lower sections, and drink rails in the Home Run Porch/Left Field District.
Tailgating & parking
- Tailgating
- Not allowedThe team's guide is silent on tailgating, but parking guides say it isn't allowed in the garage or lots near the ballpark. Fans meet up at bars in the Gateway District instead.
- Parking
- Right beside the park, the team operates the Great Day Improvements Garage (650 E. Huron Rd., previously called Gateway East), which opens three hours ahead of first pitch. Prices depend on the event, and passes are purchased in advance through cleguardians.com/ParkMobile and sent to the MLB Ballpark app.
- Transit
- The GCRTA Red, Green and Blue Rapid lines all come together at Tower City. From there it's about five minutes on foot through an enclosed walkway that opens ahead of games.
